Its been 5 painful years since my tkr and now the surgeon thinks the knee replacement has come lose. Would that cause pain in my heel of the foot?

There's no one on this chat that can or should be commenting on what might cause pain, unless they are commenting on their own experience.

Hi @cobweb, you ask a good question that a physician who can examine you could investigate. You may also consider discussing some of the options that Dr. Bendel describes in this blog post to inquire if ablation or dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation might be options for you. Do you have pain in the knee area as well in your heel? Has your surgeon indicated that the heel pain is or is not related?

Hello win sturgeon @cobweb we took your question to Dr. Bendel and he replied with this response:

"If the surgeon thinks that there is loose hardware, this is an entirely different circumstance than treating pain after a well-healed knee replacement. Your surgeon should be able to answer questions about whether the heel pain is related to the condition of the knee and what needs to be done in relation to the hardware."
